CISPA at-a-glance


By SB Anderson

From PC World, here is a helpful Reader’s Digesty look at the Cyber Information and Security Protection Act that passed the U.S. House last week and that has some privacy experts a bit steamed.

Next up: The Senate, which has its own versions of cybersecurity bills.
